Filming our travel documentary

I don't know if you've looked at my Facebook status lately, but my husband Paul and I went away last week going to multiple national parks on a private aviation trip to film yet another travel documentary. 

We've been filming (working title) "Airplane Adventures" or "Come Fly Away" as a starting point for our "By Sea" travel documentary, to see if we have legs....if we could keep up with having to film all the time....and to see if the invasion to our privacy would be an issue.

Now that we're back on the ground and at home, I have to say - last week was CRAZY!!!!  Much of it was fun, but this trip was not at all like a "vacation." 

When we were not filming, we were getting talent release forms signed, obtaining location releases and getting permits for each of the national parks we visited.  What an interesting side job to the actual filming.  Working on the fly keeps you busy! 

Now we've got 80 GB of Compact flash data to download, transcode and actually edit.....talk about work!  This is a really big endeavor and one that I KNOW will require more than just the two of us.  That said, I'm still willing to get my feet wet and continue to produce, be on camera, direct, shoot and edit to see what we can accomplish.

We've got several other places we'll be going over the summer with very little time at home between trips.  I'm feeling overwhelmed with the accumulation of data and the inability to get to the editing side of this monster. 

It is pretty cool though :-)
